Post.Design/Tangle is a design festival spanning two years, four locations, and a patchworked, online hub.

As part of the Post Design Tangle, four amazing speakers talk about their practices at our upcoming lecture series at Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, Sweden. Unravelling the theme of “entanglement” the Post Design Tangle spans two years and four locations. Each event, or “chapter”, has its own tangled focus, and the first one is digging into the knotty realm of PRACTICE. CHAPTER 1: PRACTICE will investigate how design is never neutral: Methods, tools, education, and creative practices are enmeshed with politics, ideology, and an interconnection of histories. What does it mean to take those knots seriously, and what can we learn from practitioners tangled up in disciplines? The two day symposium is held in English and open to the public—both virtually and in-person.✨

Nejc's tangly, maximalist visual tactics take viewers to new places and break away from the typical workings of a poster or identity. Nejc himself is a Slovenian designer who works with a wide range of clients and occasionally teaches at the Academy in Ljubljana. Before starting his own studio in 2019, he worked as an art director at Bloomberg Businessweek in New York. Nejc will not only be speaking at the Tangle, but also running our workshop for design students at Beckmans

Yehwan Song

Coming at digital technology with a critical eye, and investigating the ways in which tech shapes and gives shape to our creative practices today, Yehwan will be talking about the tangly ways her practice transgresses static and templated web design. Based in Seoul, the Korean web designer pursues multiplicity rather than consistency, and challenges the notion of user-friendlessness and efficiency online. In our increasingly networked times, Yehwan is breaking from and critically engaging with our webbed surroundings.

Matilda Tjäder

Learn more about Matilda Tjäder

Building fictional worlds through sound, performance, and moving image is the thread that binds Matilda's multidisciplinary practice together. In her work, the Swedish artist develops experimental, deeply imaginative environments where the familiar interfaces with unknown, the individual with the collective, and memories with the absence of sentience. We’re looking forward to getting lost in the stories she webs and weaves, whether ambient or absurd.

Elias Hanzer

Approaching type as a generative tool that forms the base for infinite, entangled shapes, Elias is a German type and graphic designer currently based in Berlin. His recent typeface release with Dinamo, ABC Arizona, is the first ever sans-to-serif “superfamily” packed into one single font file. Alongside drawing typefaces, he co-runs Hanzer Liccini with Lucas Liccini, a studio for graphic design and typography. Elias will be talking about all the ways that technology and type can intermingle.
